About Me

C.S. Sloan: I'm a freelance writer who is passionate about strength training, martial arts, contemplative spirituality (particularly Eastern Orthodox spirituality), and the integration of all 3. I'm a former contributing editor to IRONMAN MAGAZINE, MUSCLEMAG INTERNATIONAL, and PLANET MUSCLE. I love inspiring and helping others through my writing. I hope you enjoy my blog.
